Detergent Salt

Detergent salt refers to various sodium/potassium salts (like Sodium Sulfate, Sodium Chloride, Sodium Carbonate) used as fillers, thickeners, and flow agents in commercial detergent powders, improving texture and effectiveness, especially in hard water; while in home remedies, salt is added to detergent for scrubbing, stain removal (grease, ink, mildew), and sanitizing, acting as a mild abrasive and booster, though some sources warn it can harm machines or fabrics.
